These healthy banana oat muffins are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and contain no added sugar, making them a wholesome and satisfying breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (120g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, 60g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but slightly chunky. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  5. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Do not over-mix the batter to keep muffins tender. Substitute almond flour for gluten-free version and flax eggs plus dairy-free yogurt for vegan version. Optionally add nuts or seasonal fruits like blueberries or dried cranberries. Warm bananas in microwave for 20 seconds if not ripe enough. Tent muffins with foil if browning too fast.
